Ben Templesmith has apologised for the silence that has led to his exit from Ten Grand.

J Michael Straczynski revealed this week that CP Smith would be the new artist on the Joe's Comics title after he had not heard from Templesmith for over a month.

The 30 Days of Night artist told The Beat that he had been dealing with some personal matters and "a rather catastrophic move to Chicago where a bunch of my stuff is missing and I got other people's things, that only finished yesterday".
